Sheep and Wool Festival Last Weekend

My friend Kelli asked for company to go to the 

Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck this past Saturday.

It started off a bit cloudy but that did not keep the crowds away.

Over by the lamp post there was a vendor selling some type of artichoke goodness

that had a major crowd the whole time we were there.

Kelli is a hat person and this looked lovely on her! It is entirely made from wool and a 

few unusually striped black and white feathers.

There is as plethora of hand knitted, crocheted, woven and beautifully created

woolen goods everywhere!

I purchased a few quarters of wool from this charming lady. I want to try to

rug hook some of my art this winter.

As the day progressed, so did the crowd....

a quick trip up to livestock hill for a black sheep selfie and our day was done!

ps:

The artichoke crowd was even worse on the way out so I never did get to try it :(
